Now you have a second Minion, but he doesn't have enough Experience to learn a spell yet.

Experience: 35

This is seriously annoying because the minion _does_ have enough experience to learn a spell! I'd say this bug needs to be fixed as soon as possible because many new players get stuck on this and only a handful report problems with it. I guess the other new players will certainly say something in the lines of:

Seriously, if a tutorial has any chance of doing more harm than good, then it should be taken out. That is, unless very helpful Admins, like Shade, is willing to spend all their time helping every new player out of the tutorial.

Don't blame him tho. My friend quite for the same reason. The tutorial got stuck on telling him to hire a new minion. He did like 10 times. Hire hire hire, fire, hire, fire, new character, hire hire hire hire. Ended up accidentally firing his single minion with all his exp on it. Not a huge lose for only playing for an hour or two but very annoying and a huge let down.

A tutorial should always be optional, in my opinion...
I think that may solve future situations like this one: making the tutorial an optional feat, and increase the rewards for completing it.
This may give incentive for people to attempt the tutorial, while making it optional for people who would rather find things out by trial and error (or those in a hurry to start the game).
